Pesto Pinwheels

This is the kind of Italian snack you’ll make on repeat — puff pastry and basil pesto, 30 minutes, big payoff. The macros do the talking: 18g protein, 13g carbs, and 42g fat in every 488-calorie serving. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry
• 1/3 cup Basil pesto
• 1/4 cup Parmesan
• 1/4 cup Sun-dried tomatoes

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. If it{Q}s cracked from the freezer, press the seams back together with your fingertips.
3. Spread the pesto in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border along one long edge clean.
4. Scatter the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and grated parmesan evenly over the pesto.
5. Roll up tightly from the long edge, sealing the clean border with a dab of water.
6. Beginner tip: chill the log for 15 minutes before slicing. A firm log cuts into neat rounds, a soft one squishes flat.
7. Slice into 12 rounds with a sharp serrated knife and bake 18 to 20 minutes, until puffed, golden, and browned in spots where the cheese peeks out.
